Mobile Home Remodel Episode 1 - The Before

[@kacbusines8710]

You have nothing to be judged on! It is awesome that you are showing the before and I can't wait to see the after. It will be beautiful. I live in a 1997 double wide Oakcreek. I have updated everything. We bought it new and love it. About 4-5 years ago we completely bit the bullet and replaced all of our carpet with a high end vinyl plank flooring and I love it. It was well worth the money and is durable for our dogs and farm life!

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

That's awesome. So happy you were able to do that.

[@name-ey5it]

You will get there. Don't be ashamed of your place, I think it's going to look great 👍 .

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Thank you!

I'm so happy to find your channel! I have a 1981 double wide that I've owned for 10 years.....which is incredible to think that much time has gone by! As you can imagine, a mobile home that old definitely needed updating, but it was in good shape and had been well cared for. I've done a lot to it over the years, and I love my home very much! I'm looking forward to watching your progress, so I have subscribed. Thank you for sharing!!

Nice chickens, i only have a few. Never worry about it being perfect, this will be like a journal for you to look back on all your hard work

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Thank you. I was nervous about that because I am generally a clean person. There is pretty much no way to have a clean house during remodeling.

[@lovenotes5299]

@@chosennpreciousfarm Everyday living is not pretty nor perfect- life is not perfect and people want to see how other regular people make it work, because it gives them hope and inspiration that they can do it! . I watch Justin Rhodes, Roots and Refuge- jessica and Miah, leadfarmer73 and so many other homesteaders.

I think the kitchen cabinets look adorable as is, it’s a style, it’s a genre it’s a type it may not be watching style today, but watch and style today will be out of style in three years! But you too whatever you like to make it your own I’m just saying, if something is clean and in excellent condition there’s nothing wrong with it!🎉❤🎉

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

I agree they were very nice. And in perfect condition for how old they were. Overall, it wasnt the style I was going for like you said, but they were good!

Yes 100% I believe that.

[@TheCookster64]

I'm restoring a 1972 single wide mobile home right now. Both bedrooms are done. I'm working on the bathroom now, total gut job including two interior walls. I gutted the entire rest of the home, drywall is going up in the livingroom this Thursday then the mini-split gets installed.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Oh wow. That's a much bigger job. Hope it all turns out how you wanted. And that the remodel goes by fast. 😃

[@donnahernandez3440]

Good luck with the renovations. It will take time but will be so worth it in the end. ;)

I would recommend the channel Homestead living traditions. They have alot of easy gardens and tips of planting and fertilizer.

Thank you. I will look them up. 😃

I am in the UK, and live in a mobile home. ( ours are smaller here). It was in a dreadful state. I had it totally refurbished and it was like new. So will yours be. Its beautiful. And that garden is to die for. I would like to live in that alone 😂. Wishing you all the best…cant wait to see it in its new form eventually

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Hey, Thank you for watching. I too wish I could live out in the garden. hehe. hope fully we will have it done soon.

[@themainer1267]

Enjoyed your video. Great introduction to the spaces. I'm wondering if putting in a different floor rather than carpeting would be a better idea, for maintenance, durability, cleaning. Vinyl plank flooring might be a good alternative. At about $2 a square foot, waterproof, durable, easy to clean, 25-year warranty, some beautiful wood pattern finishes, and you can install it yourself. I've hit the subscribe button and the bell. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Yes that makes sense, im only putting carpet in the bedrooms. Everywhere else we have decided to put the waterproof vynal wood planks. That way hopefully it wont be too bad.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Thank you so much for all the info

[@sandraerskine3001]

Hello Karen! Looking forward to all of your future videos. You are very lucky to have lake shore at the back of your property. Are you located in the Great Lakes area of the United States? I was thinking the same thing as The Mainer about not putting in carpeting. I've seen vinyl plank flooring at Walmart and even Dollar General. One KZbinr even replaced their old bathtub surround with the same vinyl floor planking they used to replace the bathroom flooring. It gave the bathroom a very clean and neat appearance.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Hi thank you so much. I live in North Carolina, properties with lakes are not very common in my area so i was super excited to be able to purchase this. I am going to get the waterproof planks in the bathrooms the kitchen and the living room. However the bedrooms we decided to get the carpet. We have a 5 year plan to live in this mobile home then hopefully building our permanent home. This is just what made financial sense for us at the moment. We are so excited you are watching and thank you for the input. 😀

[@marciabyram6003]

Especially if you wear boots and have animals like me! 😄

[@melissabenson6749]

Take all the handles off the kitchen cabinets & spray paint handles or buy new ones! Paint from one end to the other to get moved in, then do 1 room at a time!

[@libbyann78]

I also like your master bathroom and closet setup way better than mine

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

I was surprised with how big it was.

[@sandrajohnson1465]

The counter tops are nice. To save money and time, after painting cabinets white, pick a grey tone to paint walls and it will coordinate.

[@kellyking5721]

Nice job, love following and seeing progress. Looks like a great plan!

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@heartslessons6243]

It's easy to fix a washer and dryer yourself and a lot cheaper than buying a new set. I'm a woman and I fixed mine myself. I ordered parts off Amazon.

Your land is beautiful, are there fish in our pond? The chickens look happy and that's all that matters. Love how big and open the kitchen is, so many possibilities with updating. It's a process, don't rush it, don't stress it will all fall into place one project at a time. looking forward to seeing more of your Homesteading Journey. 🐔🐓

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Thank you so much. Yes there are fish in there. We have caught Bluegill and Bass. The previous owner told us that there is also catfish, crappie, and gar. We also have a ton of turtles and some beavers. It's a whole world In there. 😄

[@marciabyram6003]

Great trailer. Could you take the decals off the glass cabinet doors with stripper and then add those vinyl pane dividers which would make the glass look like the old farm house windows? You could even make them out of small wood trim. It would stick using clear silicone caulk. I would keep them but just change their style. 😊

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Good idea thank you 😊

[@dw6418]

Just came across your video. After that wonderful lake I was done lol. But the mobile home really isn’t that bad it looks like it has good bones. I also love the feathery girls following you around lol. god Bless ❤️

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Thank you so much. The lake is the same reason I fell in love with this place. it was like a dream come true.

[@lealatrusty1478]

Nice video I hope you do more. If I was you I wouldn’t do carpet, living in the country it will get dirty fast, go with vinyl plank flooring you will not regret it.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Thank you, I wanted to do all vinyl but financially was not possible for us. But maybe in the future.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Thats awesome I've always wanted to go to Canada. Thank you so much. I am very so in love with the back yard too. 😍

[@weightlessliving9856]

Karen, wow! This looks great so far. I would suggest taking out that entire area where the washer and dryer are now and then putting new stackable front loading units in the master bath. It’s so easy to move plumbing and electrical in mobile homes because it’s all accessible underneath. That would add so much value and really modernize the kitchen, dining, living area into a huge and beautiful “great room”. I love the slider going in from the back giving a lake view, perhaps look at adding two more sliders, or floor to ceiling windows directly next to this one giving an amazing view of the beautiful lake from the dining and living room. Who needs TV when you OWN that view!!!! Great video! Can’t wait to see the EPIC transformation! LIKED and SUBSCRIBED!

[@barbaralevel7225]

You don’t have to switch out glass doors. That stuff will scrape off. You can also remove glass and get thin wood from Lowes and add to them. Use a product called no sand on cabinets. I then used a very expensive paint from sherwin wms because I got a large discount. You can paint over that metal looking trim on kitchen cabinets. I have a 1993 home made by the Amish. I bought new and have over the years completely remodeled just to keep up to date. Door handles, hinges, light switches, pergo floors. You can make it beautiful. People see mine and say this isn’t a trailer? Good luck.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Wow thats awesome. I'll try it and see how I like it. Thanks for the idea. 😄

[@aislynn001]

You can probably sell those cabinet doors on Ebay, the glass is quite pretty.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Homeowner here. My husband is retirement age but I’ve got 10 more years to go. I’m in the downsizing stage of my life and I can’t wait to do it. Unfortunately we will never be able to purchase a older home that requires work as my husband is far from handy. That being said, I have been looking at mobile homes and the only issue I could see myself having is the seems going down the walls. Are you eliminating them? It looked like they were gone in the master bedroom. I look forward to watching your transformation. What part of the country are you in? We’re looking at moving to South Alabama.

[@chosennpreciousfarm]

Hey, thank you for watching. We are in North Carolina. And yes we removed almost all of them there are only a few we left alone just beacuse they didn't bother us as much. But it was a eye sore to see those. I know that newer models don't have the seems anymore. Have you been to a mobile home factory.? They have some show trailers you can look at.

Thank you for watching. We thought about it when we were deciding, but that other room has a really small closet as the water heater is inside that coset. Plus if anything happens with the water heater all her stuff would be damaged. The bathroom is equally close to her room. I think in that regard it should be fine. but nothing is permanent it could always change. :)
